✦ Synopsis
Trace levels of uramum can be determmed by stnppmg voltammetry after controlled adsorptive preconcentratlon of the uranmm-cupferron complex on the mercury electrode The resulting procedure greatly Improves the selectwlty over previously reported adsorptive stnppmg schemes, whde offermg smular (subnanomolar) detectlon llrmts In addltron, the use of cupferron ehmmates mterference from dissolved oxygen, extends the hnear range, and offers a wider useful pH range Both potentlometnc and voltammetnc stnppmg approaches are used to follow the reduction of the adsorbed complex. The effect of vanous expenmental parameters IS explored Adaptation to flow-through cells permits on-line momtormg of trace levels of uranium at rates of 30-60 samples h-l, with relatnre standard dewatlons of 2 7-4 1% Apphcabdlty to the quanhtatlon of uramum m ground water samples IS demonstrated

## Ultratrace concentrations of uranium(V1) have been determined using adsorptive stripping voltammetry of the uranium-chloranilic acid complex (2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone). The detection limit was calculated to 24 rig/l.. The most significant advantage of the method described is
## Abstract This work reports the use of adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV) for the determination of uranium on a preplated rotating‐disk bismuth‐film electrode (BiFE). The principle of the method relied on the complexation of U(VI) ions with cupferron and the subsequent adsorptive accumulatio
